Training for Efficient Tool Management

Thanks to digitized processes, manufacturing companies operate more flexibly, efficiently, and cost-effectively. However, this is only possible with properly trained personnel. ZOLLLER trains specialists from manufacturing companies at its ZOLLER Smart Factory in Pleidelsheim through one-day and multi-day seminars and workshops. These programs are tailored to the participants’ needs. They enable skilled workers to work efficiently and with safety when using ZOLLER’s software and hardware products.

Tools can only ever be as profitable and efficient as their operators. This applies especially to software. Specialized processes—such as the organization of tools and their digital management in a manufacturing facility—require qualified personnel. Only with such personnel can the full benefits of digitized processes, all the way up to a smart factory, be fully realized. 

 

Practical Focus 

That is why ZOLLER offers in-depth training programs at its Smart Factory in Pleidelsheim. These are specialized for technical staff in manufacturing companies and are primarily based on the standard steps found in such facilities. To this end, the specialists at ZOLLER have designed a complete smart factory. In addition to standard turning and milling centers, it includes the entire spectrum of ZOLLER’s extensive product portfolio. This includes presetting and measuring machines, testing and measuring machines, automation systems, storage systems, shrink-fit and balancing machines, tool holders, and tool management solutions. In this way, participants in ZOLLER’s one-day and multi-day training courses can use their knowledge and skills in a practical setting and in direct reference to real-world workflows. This applies not only to individual steps but also, comprehensively, to a largely automated, digitized production process. 

 

Tailored to Individual Needs 

Training sessions and workshops on individual topics are held with groups of approximately five to eight participants. This enables trainers and instructors to address specific questions and needs. In addition, course content and the center of gravity are tailored to the participants’ respective levels of knowledge and experience. As a result, they are optimally efficient. 

In addition to a number of standardized training courses, the specialists at ZOLLER focus on specifically tailored training sessions. Within just a few days, participants receive the necessary know-how and extensive qualifications in a compact and focused manner, enabling them to use ZOLLER’s hardware and software products efficiently and reliably. 

 

In Theory and Practice 

This applies in particular to tool management with ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions. First, seminar participants learn basic functions and steps through training in small groups. This includes, for example, creating and saving master data, as well as checking tools, operating and measuring equipment, and fixtures in and out. Participants learn details about the modular design of the ZOLLER TMS Tool Management Solutions system as a whole and the resulting options for comprehensive tool organization and management. Through individually tailored instruction, they learn the functions and ways to use the software modules relevant to their specific needs. Following intensive theoretical training in the classrooms, hands-on application takes place directly on the shop floor of the ZOLLER Smart Factory in Pleidelsheim. As a result, the training and continuing education programs at ZOLLER provide participants with in-depth, practical expertise. Participants can immediately use this knowledge in their respective manufacturing companies to work efficiently and productively.
